Burial At Sea

Burial At Sea in Waikiki

Participate in a simple, beautiful burial at sea service aboard a traditional outrigger canoe off Waikiki, beneath the shadow of Diamond Head. Scatter a loved one’s ashes into the open ocean and honor them with “the last wave” in true Waikiki Beachboy tradition.

The service includes paddling out to the ocean, saying a prayer, singing, or reflecting in silence, and surfing back to shore with the symbolic last wave. Professional photography is provided, with images processed within 1-2 days. Guests may bring flowers or leis if desired.
